< Genesis 39 >
1 Joseph had been taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites, who had sold him to Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officers, the commander of the royal guard.
At ibinaba si Jose sa Egipto; at binili siya ni Potiphar, puno ni Faraon, na kapitan ng bantay, na lalaking taga Egipto, sa kamay ng mga Ismaelita na nagdala sa kaniya roon.
2 The Lord was with Joseph and made him successful. He lived in his Egyptian master's house.
At ang Panginoon ay suma kay Jose, at naging lalaking mapalad; at siya'y nasa bahay ng kaniyang panginoong taga Egipto.
3 His master noticed that the Lord was with him and made him successful in everything he did.
At nakita ng kaniyang panginoon, na ang Panginoon ay sumasakaniya, at ang lahat ng kaniyang ginagawa ay pinagpapala ng Panginoon sa kaniyang kamay.
4 Potiphar appreciated Joseph and his service, and put him in charge of his household and made him responsible for everything he owned.
At nakasumpong si Jose ng biyaya sa kaniyang paningin, at pinaglingkuran niya siya: at sa kaniya'y ipinamahala niya ang bahay, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik ay isinakaniyang kamay.
5 From the time he put Joseph in charge and trusted him with all he had, the Lord blessed Potiphar's household because of Joseph. The Lord blessed everything he had, whether in his house or in his fields.
At nangyari, na mula sa panahon na siya'y pamahalain sa kaniyang bahay, at sa lahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik, ay pinagpala ng Panginoon ang bahay ng taga Egiptong yaon dahil kay Jose; at ang pagpapala ng Panginoon ay sumalahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik, sa bahay at sa parang.
6 So Potiphar left Joseph to care for everything he owned. He didn't bother with anything except to decide what food he was going to eat. Now Joseph was handsome, having a good physique,
At kaniyang ipinamahala ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik sa kamay ni Jose; at hindi siya nakikialam ng anomang kaniya, liban sa tinapay na kaniyang kinakain. At si Jose ay may magandang pagmumukha at kahalihalina.
7 so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!”
At nangyari, pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, na tinitigan si Jose ng asawa ng kaniyang panginoon at sinabi, Sipingan mo ako.
8 But he turned her down, telling his master's wife, “Look, my master trusts me so much he doesn't even bother to find out how his household is running. He's put me in charge of everything he owns—
Datapuwa't siya'y tumanggi at sinabi niya sa asawa ng kaniyang panginoon, Narito, ang aking panginoon ay hindi nakikialam sa akin tungkol sa nasa bahay, at lahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik ay ipinamahala sa aking kamay;
9 no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, and sin against God?”
Walang sinomang dakila kay sa akin sa bahay na ito; walang ipinagkait sa aking anomang bagay, kung di ikaw lamang, sapagka't ikaw ay kaniyang asawa: paano ngang aking magagawa itong malaking kasamaan, at kasalanan laban sa Dios?
10 Day after day she persisted in asking him, but he refused to sleep with her and tried to avoid her.
At nangyari, na nakikiusap man siya kay Jose araw-araw, ay hindi nakikinig sa kaniya na siya'y sipingan, o pakisamahan.
11 But one day he went into the house to do his work and none of the other servants were there.
At nangyari nang panahong ito, na siya'y pumasok sa bahay upang gawin niya ang kaniyang gawain at wala sinoman sa mga tao sa bahay doon sa loob.
12 She grabbed him by his clothing, and demanded, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his clothing in her hand, he ran out of the house.
At siya'y pinigilan niya sa kaniyang suot, na sinasabi, Sipingan mo ako: at iniwan niya ang kaniyang suot sa kamay niya at tumakas, at lumabas.
13 Seeing that he'd left his clothing in her hand, and had ran out of the house,
At nangyari, na pagkakita niyang iniwan ang kaniyang suot sa kamay niya, at tumakas sa labas,
14 she shouted out to her servants, “Look at this! He brought this Hebrew slave here to dishonor us! This man came to try and rape me, but I screamed at the top of my voice.
Na siya'y tumawag ng mga tao sa kaniyang bahay, at sinalita sa kanila, na sinasabi, Tingnan ninyo, na dinalhan niya tayo ng isang Hebreo, upang tayo'y tuyain; pinasok niya ako upang ako'y sipingan, at ako'y naghihiyaw ng malakas:
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
At nangyari nang marinig niyang ako'y nagtaas ng tinig at naghihiyaw, na iniwan ang kaniyang suot sa aking siping, at tumakas, at lumabas.
16 She kept his clothing with her until her husband came home.
At kaniyang iningatan ang suot niya sa kaniyang siping, hanggang sa umuwi ang kaniyang panginoon sa kaniyang bahay.
17 Then she told him her story. It went like this: “That Hebrew slave you brought here tried to come and dishonor me.
At sinalita niya sa kaniya ng ayon sa mga salitang ito, na sinasabi, Pinasok ako ng aliping Hebreo na iyong dinala sa atin, upang tuyain ako:
18 But as soon as I screamed and called for help, he left his clothing beside me and ran outside.”
At nangyari, na sapagka't nagtaas ako ng aking tinig at ako'y naghihiyaw, ay kaniyang iniwan ang suot niya sa aking siping, at tumakas sa labas.
19 When Potiphar heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became angry.
At nangyari, na pagkarinig ng kaniyang panginoon ng mga salita na sinalita sa kaniya ng kaniyang asawa, na sinasabi, Ganitong paraan ang ginawa sa akin ng iyong alipin; ay nagalab ang kaniyang galit.
20 He took Joseph and put him in the prison where the king's prisoners were kept, and there he stayed.
At dinala ng kaniyang panginoon si Jose, at inilagay sa bilangguan, sa dakong pinagkukulungan ng mga bilanggo ng hari: at siya'y natira roon sa bilangguan.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, showing him trustworthy love, and made the chief jailer pleased with him.
Datapuwa't ang Panginoon ay suma kay Jose, at iginawad sa kaniya ang awa, at pinagkalooban ng biyaya sa paningin ng katiwala sa bilangguan.
22 So the chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners there and gave him the responsibility for running the prison.
At ipinamahala ng katiwala sa bilangguan sa mga kamay ni Jose ang lahat na mga bilanggo na nasa bilangguan; at ang lahat ng ginagawa roon ay siya ang gumagawa.
23 The chief jailer didn't bother with anything for Joseph took care of it all for the Lord was with him and made him successful.
Hindi tinitingnan ng katiwala ng bilangguan ang anomang bagay na nasa kaniyang kamay, sapagka't ang Panginoo'y suma kay Jose; at ang kaniyang ginagawa ay pinagpapala ng Panginoon.
